Expression of Interest (EOI) – Civil Works Panel

⁠⁠⁠Overview

Synergy (WA) is seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified contractors to establish a panel providing civil construction services across its generation assets.

About

Synergy's thermal generation business unit (TGBU) is responsible for its coal, gas and distributed electricity generating assets. TGBU's priority is to create and sustain a safe environment for its people.

TGBU is made up of four primary operating units:

• Coal generation: responsible for providing safe, reliable and sustainable energy to the people of WA through efficient management and operation of coal generating assets. The fleet includes Muja power station, Synergy's largest station, consisting of 2 generating units producing a total of 440 MW and employing permanent and contractor personnel, and Collie power station, a single generating unit producing a total of 317 MW owned by Synergy and operated under an operating and maintenance contract
• Gas generation: specialists in the operation and maintenance of highly automated generating plant, managing a portfolio of generating units fuelled by gas, wind and steam. The portfolio comprises open cycle gas turbines, wind turbines and one combined cycle station, spread over an area from Kwinana to Coral Bay in the north, Kalgoorlie in the east and Bremer Bay in the south
• Thermal asset optimisation (TAO): turns corporate strategy into tangible outcomes for the generation portfolio, seeking to maximise sustainable returns from all TGBU power generation assets by analysing plant performance to deliver practical recommendations for business performance improvement. TAO is responsible for developing and maintaining fleet asset lifecycle plans, works closely with site teams and across business units to achieve TGBU and Synergy objectives, and provides technical support to market rules reform, regulation and compliance committees
• Thermal projects: responsible for executing capital, sustaining and operating projects in TGBU whilst maintaining project management governance and portfolio reporting
